WaPo: Intelligence by State
quote:

In order to figure out how smart each state was, we looked at objective measures we had at our disposal. Specifically:

IQ, as estimated by Virginia Commonwealth's Michael McDaniel in 2006
2015 SAT scores, compiled by The Post
2015 ACT scores, via the company that administers the tests
The percentage of college graduates in the state, compiled by the Census Bureau
To create an intelligence score, we determined the percentage-point difference between a state's score and the national median score. Then, since IQ seemed to be the most on-the-nose metric, we doubled that value and then added it all up.












I see my birth state and original home state of New Hampshire is up there stuntin at #3. Current home state (where my heart is) of Tennessee is fairly middle of the road at #33. Louisiana isn't that bad, all things considered. And by all things considered I mean it could be worse, sort of.

Overall, it looks like the South has a touch of tard. The South is basically holding it down with the fattest, dumbest people in the US. Where did it all go wrong bros?

It seems clear that Mr. McDaniel is a racist. Why else would he put all those lily-white states at or near the top?

New England and the upper Midwest ( ) simply have higher quality people. It's that simple.
